Re: Cult: Spots and Holes on TB


Hi Rick

Just came in from the garden after looking for cutworms.   You're right! 
I found one but only one.  Didn't look through the entire garden just in
front of the house.  they look just like a tiny slug and also respond to
touch the same way.  I wonder if snail and slug repellent would control
them.   I have a box of repellent for slugs and will read to see if it
says anything about cutworms.  There must be a chemical out there for
these critters.  I don't have the time to dig around the soil looking
for them, and if I did I probably couldn't  find them as they are the
same color as the soil.  We have a red soil.  

Maybe Bill Shear from the department of biology in Hampden could respond
if he reads this note.  Or better yet I'll drop him a note.

Thanks again!
